Why does our media keep referring to Musharrif as President Musharrif?
The only thing that makes him a president is that is what the thug calls himself. He is a dictator. Not a president.

Will they keep referring to Bush as president if he refuses to leave office after the next election?

1. Thank goodness Bush has always been fully engaged on this matter

Bush (in 1999)
"The new Pakistani general -- just been elected -- he's not been elected... the guy took over office...it appears he's going to bring stability to the country and I think that's good news for the sub continent. "

(WHDH-TV Reporter) Andy (Hiller)
"And you can name him? "

Bush
"General, I can name the general... "

Andy
"And it's..."

Bush
"General."

2. If we started referring to dictators correctly, it would cost taxpayers money.
bush would have to change all his stationery, buy new jackets and socks.
